“What we earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are”
Anna Jameson
“What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of the mind, for the moment realizes itself.”
“I will be as harsh as truth, and uncompromising as justice... I am in earnest, I will not equivocate, I will not excuse, I will not retreat a single inch, and I will be heard.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“It's amazing how much you can learn if your intentions are truly earnest.”
Chuck Berry
“That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.”
Charlie Chaplin
“I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch- and I will be heard!”
“What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once”
Virginia Woolf
